The B I B L E Lessons from life. BtP 6.9.2024

Hey! you teachers…

1 Timothy 1:3 ESV

3 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine,

2 Timothy 4:3 (ESV)

3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,

James 3:1 ESV

1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.

A request…

Help one of my “lads” review Restoration Movement history so that today he can use that information in his sermon

So…

Monday

4 1/2 hours reading In The History of the Disciples of Christ in Illinois.

Reviewing My Big Yellow Restoration movement Folder.

Glancing at a couple of other relevant books…

Tuesday

2 hour discussion of “hyper-dispensationalism.” A.K.A people thought heretics by other dispensationalists.

Acts 28ers Nothing that Jesus said applies to the Church. The “Church” starts with Paul and instructions for the Church with Romans.

Why this matters…

The local Church needs to trust it’s preacher to authoritatively interpret the Scriptures.

Sometimes we need to stop listening to external stimuli.

In free Churches like ours we must be more vigilant about doctrine, not less.
